New CEOS Transfer Application Process

All transfer applications in CEOS will have new requirements:

1. Each transfer will require a supplemental attachment that includes:
• the contact information for the previous legal contact; or
• in the case of Construction Stormwater - the previous owner and operator contact information.
2. Each transfer will need the digital signature of BOTH:
• New legal/owner/operator; and
• Old legal/owner/operator

Why the change?

​

• Colorado’s permitting regulation, Regulation 61, requires that permit transfers include a “written agreement between the existing and new permittees containing a specific date for transfer of permit responsibility, coverage and liability between them.” Reg. 61.8(6)(b)(ii).

​

• We have made enhancements to the system to accommodate the four number of signatures that a Construction Stormwater permit transfer would require (4).

​

How will this work?

1. You will fill out the supplemental attachment with the previous permittee’s contact information.
2. You will make sure that the signers page of the transfer application includes signatures from all of the new and old permittees
3. You will submit the application through CEOS, like now

The Attachment

The attachment will be available starting January 1, 2022 on the Division web pages that already contain all of the application supplemental requirements for CEOS:

​

COR400000 Construction Stormwater Discharge

CEOS - Dewatering General Permit Program

CEOS Supplemental Documents

​

Managing the Signers

Each RO - from the old permittees and the new permittees should be associated with the facility of the permit.

​

Do not click the blue Replace RO link until the transfer is processed. If they are not associated with the facility, they will not show up as a signer.

​

Once the transfer is processed the old permittees can take themselves off the facility by deleting the facility from their list by clicking on the red x.

Digital Signature Page

You will click the Manage Co-Signers button and add all of the people identified as legal/owner/operator on the transfer application and the supplemental page.

Submittal

Each RO will have to log in to CEOS and certify the submittal

1. Fill in the certification check box
2. Complete the security question
3. Enter their pin number.
4. Click blue Certify button
5. The last person to sign will click the submit button.

How do I know who has or has not signed?

Once someone signs it will have a certified date in the list of signers.

If you are the last one without a date - then click the submit button instead of certify.

If you need to let someone know they need to sign - you can click the E-Notify Button and it will send a email to address the system has on file.
